Answer

MOOCH

This word means to beg or obtain something from others without paying or offering anything in return. It can be used as both a verb meaning to scrounge or freeload, and as a noun referring to someone who habitually does this. The word emerged in American slang in the mid 1800s and may have origins in Yiddish or German dialects.

Strategy Tip

This puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky. If your guesses are coming up short, consider that Wordle answers sometimes use the same letter twice. Try placing a confirmed letter in multiple positions to see if it appears more than once.
